Have not had many Chenin Blancs, like a fully white wine. QOTD-I enjoy the mystery of not knowing when you open a bottle if it really will bring the thunder, and when it does, am sad when the bottle is empty. http://www.winelx.com

Good thing! Do some more shows on the lesser popular grapes. The Carmenere show (many eps ago) got me hooked on WLTV 😉

Chenin Blancs can be really great…

Introspective VaynerChuk can’t forget the words of Sam Zen while he’s tasting the Bonny Doon.

slip that audio track back into place.. although it was pretty hilarious having it play over yourself.

the ghost of Sam Zen is haunting you Gary!!!

Nice ep — vast majority of my Chenin Blanc experience is with Vouvray Demi Sec, so interesting to see the variety of wines made with it — obviously quite a versatile grape. The color on that Joly was unbelievable!
Mike F.

LOL – Sam Zen made you regurgitate your words. Gary when I drink a nice bottle of wine it makes me.. feel guilty that I didn’t use a glass.

QOTD When I drink a nice bottle of wine it makes me go to the box and fill the bottle back up!

Holy Vaynerthrow of the cork- cant believe it stuck- was there a “Magic Nose Goblin” on it.
